Twice today, and twice yesterday. I also have one regret - not doing it sooner. I am more than two years post-op and maintenance is very difficult, but I could not do it (maintain at this weight) without my tool. It takes an incredible amount of planning and willpower every. single. day but thanks to my tool, I am able (so far) to mostly make good choices and stay within my desired weight range. Good luck!

I'm not even at goal yet, and I've been struggling with head hunger and food addiction, but even through all of that, I would do it again in a heartbeat. Hell, I'd go selfpay and do it again tomorrow if I had to.

I dumped yesterday AND today and I'd still do it.

100% yes. I am so grateful every single day. Now when I am lifting the 40 pound dog food bag it really strikes me that I was carrying around TWO of those strapped to my body every step. I'm just 5 1/2 months out and have lost 83 pounds. I can't even express my joy.

In a heartbeat I'd do it again. I share the regret that I wish I had done it sooner. Deanna798 you posted you'd do it again even if you had to self-pay. Well, I did have to self-pay, and honest that was the worst part of the whole thing ;). It was the best $$ I ever spent on myself. I'll be paying it back for 4 more years yet, but so very worth it. Get a brand new life on credit, gotta love America :)

Yes, without a doubt. I would even pay out of pocket if it came down to that. Best decision I have ever made.

Definitely. I would do it yearly if I had to. I love having my life back.

I do not have regrets about not doing it sooner. I was not ready any sooner than when I had it done. And all the experiences I went through when I was morbidly obese helped make me the person I am today and I think I am pretty wonderful.
